Introduction

The Parish of St George and All Saints’ is a diverse parish in the market town of Chorley. Our two churches recently merged and became one parish. Both churches in the new combined parish are trying, with some success, to reach young people and involve them in our church life.

Both churches in the parish have church schools, with whom they have an excellent relationship. Clergy go into both schools to lead weekly worship assemblies, half-term schools Eucharists and both schools regularly come to the churches. In addition to these two schools we also have a good relationship with several local state schools, who come to us for seasonal worship.

The parish has also recently established a youth group which serves both congregations but meets mostly at All Saints’ church. This group tends to attract around a dozen young people most weeks, and has seen success in taking children away on residential or day trips. Through this youth group we have seen several young people begin to come to church and to grow in their faith.

To oversee and develop youth and children’s ministry in the parish of St George and All Saints and to raise up new youth leaders in our parish.
